Our students learned all about the editing and composition of the newspaper, how print media is adapting to the online world and spoke to several members of staff all about their various roles as journalists & editors etc. Many thanks to Sean Mahon & Sally Collins for accommodating us and being so generous with their time.

]]> Message from 6th year students https://presbandon.ie/message-from-6th-year-students/ Sat, 04 Apr 2026 11:16:04 +0000 https://presbandon.ie/message-from-6th-year-students/ We are taking part in the Bandon Darkness into Light walk on 9th May in memory of our wonderful class mate Anne Enright. Taking part in this walk, in memory of Anne means a lot to us. Walking together as a year group, we hope to create a space where stories are shared and memories are honoured. Every step taken on the morning is a tribute and every donation will help us make a difference. All are welcome to join us on the walk, donate or both. However, for us it is not just about raising money – walking into the dawn on the 9th May, we hold the glow of our shared memories of Anne, and in the warmth of sunrise her spirit walks beside us.

All students got to experience a Home Ec, PE & Tech Graph class and came away with some delicious treats and got to experience how the school day unfolds. A great day was had by all, and we look forward to welcoming them again when the 2026-2027 year begins.
